under the data protection act (please stop me if i'm wrong, because i don't think i've ever had this happen) the patient must submit a request in writing for the disclosure of their personal details. They can't simply walk in and demand to see their pmr. They may be charged an admin fee of up to £10 (which may have changed - i can't remember!) and can be expected to recieve a response within a set time period (which i can't remember). If you're a pre-reg give your super's office a ring tomorrow and pick their brains.

We had that happen a few years ago. A patient had changed doctors and the new doctor wanted to see everything that they had previously been prescribed. We had to get written letter from the patient to approve and request it but I don't remember a charge having to be paid.

Under Pharm Manager and Mediphase can leave flash up messages on pt records. Just be careful what you record.
